A large number of the people
who went from Dodgeville to Mad
;son last week 10 see Cleveland,
would go twice az far this week to
see their pocket books.
Mr. Humphrey Evans, Of Dodge
vile, found a sum of money which
the owner can have by calling on
him. The money no doubt belongs
to some of the Madison gang who

A rare botanical development may
be seen in the parlor at bookings
hotel in this village consisting Of
large triangular leafed cactus which
is putting forth an abundance Of
blooming buds closely following
season Of profuse blooming Of two
months ago. The repeated bloom
ing of a cactus is a genuine botani-
cal curiosity even in the land Of its
nativity.
James Melody and his aged wife,
Of the town of Clyde, were con-
veyed to the county farm last Satur-
day To- become inmates Of the home
of charity. They had become aged
and unable TO provide for them
selves, and to employ attendants
would incur greater expense than
they thought necessary, and they
therefore reIinquished their proper
ty, consisting in about 900 III
cash and some other personal prop
erty TO the county, in consideration
of a permanent home and support.
The grading on the railroad here
is progressing very rapidly now
since all the preliminary work has
been completed. The most difficult
and expensive work on the whole
line is between Dodgeville and
BIotz's mill, or distance Of about
five miles, every inch of which
either will have to be cut out, filled mp
or buidged Since the contractors
have increased the wages to $l.75
per day, gangs of men have been
put to work ON nearly every point,
while other gangs are engaged in
building culyerts.

From the sun OF the same date:
Last week, Friday, while Mrs.
Charles H. Paul was going across
the barnyard at her home, two
year.old heiler ran at her to hook
her. MIS-. Paul went down helpless
at the first onset The heifer's fore
feet were upon her clothing and
with her head and horns she pressed
Mrs. L. with all her might. Fortu.
natcly Mr.. Paul, her husband, was
but "a little way Off He ran at once
to her assistance and succeeded in
reaching his wife and driving off
tie brute before serious injury was
inflicted. Mrs Z, was badly bruised,
but the sharp horns nf the animal
had not penetrated her person. She
was confined to her bed from the
shock aud injury she suffered.
J here is lutte doubt, hut that for
the timely and which came, she
would soon have been killed by the
vicious beast Mr.. Z. promptly
sawed the horns off the helfer, aud
if that does not cure her of the
vicious habit, he intends taking hen
head off.
